My question is will barbel feed on a rising river.
The reason why I ask this question is because a friend if mine who has been fishing for barbel 12+ years won't entertain it at all n it's a debate we have every month in the bank together.
Background:
Now I've been fishing for thirty odd years but have only come back to the rivers the last 3 so every day is a school day for me.
Example went last week on the bristol Avon & the river looked good for a bite, air temp was double fig river was a lovely chocolate brown but clearing in the edge.Had one wrap round lost it caught one chub but by the afternoon the river rose by a foot???? Then the debate started again " river has risen we might as well go home"
So what's your views on a rising river
Regards
